 90 STAT. 2410

PUBLIC LAW 94-503—OCT. 15, 1976 of courts on related agencies (including prosecutorial and defender services). All requests from the courts of the State for financial assistance shall be received and evaluated by the judicial planning committee for appropriateness and conformity with the purposes of this title. "(f) The State planning agency shall make such arrangements as such agency deems necessary to provide that at least $50,000 of the Federal funds granted to such agency under this part for any fiscal year will be available to the judicial planning committee and at least 40 per centum of the remainder of all Federal funds granted to the State planning agency under this part for any fiscal year will be available to units of general local government or combinations of such units to participate in the formulation of the comprehensive State plan required under this part. The Administration may waive this requirement, in whole or in part, upon a finding that the requirement is inappropriate in view of the respective law enforcement and criminal justice planning responsibilities exercised by the State and its units of general local government and that adherence to the requirement would not contribute to the efficient development of the State plan required under this part. In allocating funds under this subsection, the State planning agency shall assure that major cities and counties within the State receive planning funds to develop comprehensive plans and coordinate functions at the local level. Any portion of such funds made available to the judicial planning committee and such 40 per centum in any State for any fiscal year not required for the purpose set forth in this subsection shall be available for expenditure by such State agency from time to time on dates during such year as the Administration may fix, for the development by it of the State plan required under this part. ''(g) The State planning agency and any other planning organization for the purposes of this title shall hold each meeting open to the public, giving public notice of the time and place of such meeting, and the nature of the business to be transacted, if final action is to be taken at that meeting on (1) the State plan, or (2) any application for funds under this title. The State planning agency and any other planning organization for the purposes of this title shall provide for public access to all records relating to its functions under this title, except such records as are required to be kept confidential by any other provision of local. State, or Federal law.". JUDICIAL P L A N N I N G EXPENSES F U N D I N G
